Anyone heard of metrotest???

[Olec]

I have the opportunity of getting three second hand test meters as backups.
Metrotest m2000D (insulation)
Metrotest M2000Rcd
Metrotest M2000 Psc (loop)

Has anyone ever heard of this kit? I haven't and can't find any info online.
Thanks

Not heard of them myself, but one of the forum sponsers test-meter do offer a calibration service for all the models you have mentioned.

Multifunction Tester Calibration Certificates - Megger, Kewtech, Metrel, MTi, Metrotest Robin and Alphatek

That's good to know, one of my concerns was calibration

Might be worth asking the seller if you can have a little time with them using them as you are unfamiliar with them to see how easy they are to use also.

Yeah might see if I can have a quick play with them, they come with manuals so so at least that's something

Metrotest have been going a fair few years, we had one of their PAT testers at work, so old the software came on a floppy disc suitable for Win 95!
Last used it abot 12 months ago and still working fine.

METROTEST ??!!
only the biggest band since Led Zep !
B-)

i think they were CEF's own brand of testgear about 10 yrs ago, which is reason enough to throw them in the skip lol.

Cool thanks guys, I think I'm going to give em a miss. Sounds like they are not very popular and probably a pain to get fixed if anything goes wrong :-(

I have a basic Metrotest RCD tester...had it years and it still works fine and gives accurate readings.
